I had a superday yesterday and didn't send thank you emails. Should I send them out today? Or should I wait till Monday?

I would say send it today. They will probably have their decision made by Monday. Best would have been to send it last night.
I'd wait 2 weeks so they can have time to deliberate the choices
I don't think it matters to be honest. Sending thank you notes is a nice gesture but it's not going to hurt your chances or get you a job for that matter if you don't. I would just send them out on Monday.
It won't affect the decision one way or the other. It's just another email cluttering the inbox of a busy banker. They're going to make their decision based on the time they spent with you at the interview. A thank you email isn't going to sway their opinion in your favor if they just weren't impressed with you. If they thought you were a good choice, they're not going to change their mind if you don't send an email...like some teenage girl waiting by the phone on a Friday night and if her boy doesn't call her then she's gonna decide she's through with you. If it makes you feel better somehow, then that's all the true value it has. When they get the email they'll scan it, probably not even remember who you are, and then go about their day.
Is this true? We had a panel at my school where one IB associate who had done recruiting told us that she once dinged somebody just because she got no thank-you email.
Send them today. If you wait until Monday they may have already made decisions and made phone calls, so then it would be weird no matter if they extended you an offer or not.
Today for two reasons:
1) Bankers get emails on weekends so it's not going to hurt them to send one more. 2) As several people have said already, they might have made up their minds by Monday.
The sooner the better.
Thank you emails on the same day is the norm.
